IT'S PARTY TIME TONIGHT!

Don't hug me I'm Scared...

Don't Hug Me I'm Scared from This Is It on Vimeo.

Feeling a Little Horse?

Put it away... Number one in the I-Tunes chart are we Dappy?  That's got nothing to do with this leaked photo that happened to land the same time as the single was released...?  Its amazing what a bit of Photoshop can do to a music career! 

Pure Gold

Loving the look in the golden leggings. Check out this tune free thanks to Big Stereoooooo.....

Have the sugababes changed members again?

This is RD, but it may be another attempt for the sugababes to reinvent themselves again.... don't dislike it... not sure if I like it...  just feels a bit 'Dated'

Chill Out it's Friday...

Here's a beautiful song to ease you into the Weekend... The calm before the storm...

SUMMER CAMP!

The sound of this week is very much Summer Camp. It's a little bit the best of everything - Drums, Pipettes, possibly even some Teenagers references all set to awfully kitsch videos and artworks.

Heres to a long Summer.

KISS KRAFT!

Don't forget our next Party is this Saturday and it's gonna be KISS KRAFT!

That's the usual Pop Kraft but with added...
- Kissing Booth
- Kiss Face Painting
- Poodle Rock Hair Salon
- Comedy Kiss Tribute Act - PISS!

Down at the Brighton Ballroom - Saturday 5th September.

BLUE RINSE ANYDAY!

Awesome new single! Although so bored of seeing Pink Hair... Let's start the blue rinse craze!

DEVON TOURIST BORED...

I am loving Metronomy's new Album... and I am loving the new Metronomy Single... and I'm Loving this video by David Wilson. David used to come to our parties back in the day dressed in a paper space suit... Genius.

TELEPHONE BANKING

Here's the new single from Clean Bandit, It's experimental pop that's really grown on me. Love the video too.

TIDAL RAVE!

Fans of Crystal Castles, Blue Rinses and Gameboys will love uber cutie Unicorn Kid. Check out his new EP... Heres the teaser.

IT'S A MANIC WORLD!

I'm in love with this tune, and this Video. It reminds me of New York and Voguing, Krunking and general ass-olisms at Pop Kraft...

MAN I FEEL LIKE A FISH...

Here's the new video from Lady Gaga. Having heard 90s are coming back in mode, I think Lady Gaga has taken her inspiration from Shania Twain for this song. The drum beat is Queen's We Will Rock You so perhaps this is her homage to the Queen / Five collaboration? The clothing however is less 90s grunge and more NYC Down low with a number of looks blatantly stolen from London Transexual Jonny Woo! Is this Lady Gaga's most unoriginal song yet? or Shall I just shut up and dance....

Getting Swallowed by a Gaping Vag!

Here's the video from Last Month's Life Drawing Class. Male Boylesque superstar 'The British Heart' undresses before disappearing into the depths of a giant vag!



It reminds me of a song from Jessica Delfino....

Gun's Don't Kill People Super Soakers Do!

Here's Is Tropical Latest offering. It's a bit violent so be careful.



and there's also this homemade surf video which features Justin Bieber!

Fools Gold...

Recently back from New York, and as the party Scene goes it feels a couple for years behind Brighton but still great fun. I stumbled across the new Susan CD in Opening Ceremony in Soho. We blogged the band a few months back, and having now listened to the whole album thought I'd share our favourite tune.

Here it is... The Susan HAHA

It's All Yellow for Cock and Bull Kid

Hey Peeps!

Sincere apologies for the not blogging in absolutely ages! We've been planning like crazy for the Pop Kraft 2nd Birthday Party! (Hello. Hi.) It's going to be massive, Super club tickets have already sold out, and there's only a few left on the door for the club night!

Anyway, we love Cock and Bull Kid (and any lo fi video containing dodgy wigs and crazy choreography.) Here's a new video featuring both!

PEJAZZLED LIFE DRAWING CLASS!

Here is the Hilarious outcome of the Pejazzled Life Drawing Class at the last Pop Kraft. For those new to the blog - Pop Kraft Brightons most outrageous Club night hosts a life drawing class in the middle of the night. This Month, Pejazzled Life Model and general hunk Mark was our fabulous muse... here are the hilarious artworks that were produced!!!!

MY HAIR LOOKS FIERCE

Made in Chelsea may be setting a trend for big hair, but it's worth noting POP-KRAFT have been rocking BIG HAIR for the last year and a half. During the night, ladies and mental-men are welcome to get there dull locks turned into a fabulous creation courtesy of in-house session stylist Dolores Divine.

Here are a few of our favorite recent looks...

THE BEARDED CLAM:-  Inspired by the 'Clam like ruffles' on this ladies dress Delores worked a chic and sophisticated clam on this ladies hair.

THE VAMPIRA:- Following the success of the Twighlight saga and True Blood, Dolores decided to take a cue from the latest Vampire trends and has created a chic look that wouldn't look out of place in Bram-Stokers Dracula!

THE BEEHIVE-YOURSELF:- It's a beehive that reflects Delores taste in Men... Big Bold and Italian. A versatile look that wouldn't look out of place on the Milan Catwalks or a 1970's porn flick!

and it's not just the ladies that can get a FREE makeover in Dolores Divines Boutique one of the many attractions at Pop Kraft. He is our favorite Gentleman looks...

THE BULLET: - Half Beehive, Half Mullet. We not sure which bit is supposed to be the Business end and which bit is pleasure.  Also known as the octopus, and the Mars attacks...like a lions mane this look is an instant hit with the ladies!

That's the kraft... heres some Hair inspired Pop!



LADY GAGA HAIR - Ridiculous Lyrics! LMFAO!

IT'S SUNDAY

We'll thats my excuse for posting more mellow indie fine-ness on a blog thats about great POP music - but anything great eventually becomes pop so I'm sure I'll forgive myself when these girls get signed, and become huge.

This moody guitar song is called creeping and it's by a band called 2:54

FOE THUMB

Hey Pop Peeps,

Feeling a little edgy this afternoon, so heres a dosage of Punk pop from the vibrantly Blue Haired band FOE!

It's called Genie in a Coke Can...



FOE are also expert POP KRAFTERS: Here's their video showing how they cut and paste together the sleeves for their single.



STAY KRAFTY!

STUCK IN THE MIDDLE

Morning Pop Peeps,

We first saw Caro Emerald when she performed at the RAB radio awards last October. She came across as a juxtaposition between Adele and Lily Allen. Anyway 'Stuck' is clearly her best Pop Tunage and it's finally being released Monday.

Here it is...



Brighton's best Pop Club is back next Friday at the Proud Brighton Ballroom. As well as the worlds Greatest Pop DJs (as Stated in Times, Metro and international DJ Magazine) we also have Obscene Life Drawing Classes, Pornographic Badge Making, Beehive Boudoir Hair Salon, Top Photographers and NEW ADDITION a PeJazzle Bar!

VINCENT

Here is the new Music video for Frank Music Feat. Far east Movement. Vincent performed at our earlier club nights - In fact we gave him his first gig when he changed from Mr Mouth to Frank Musik. Therefore we made him.... (Just joking) Enjoy the Video (Which also looks like our nights inspired it)

JUDE ASS JUD DA DA

A Bankers Super!

Der Wunderlich Revue Performing at this Saturdays Pop Kraft Supper Club! (and if you'd like to see a little more of these handsome chaps why not participate in the infamous Life Drawing Class!)

SHE'S GOT THE LOOKS!

Metronomy are back with their second single  'The Look' taken from the forthcoming album - The English Riviera. The amazing video is Directed by Lorenzo Fonda. I was a bit unsure of the new Metronomy sound. I loved the lo-fi bleeps and primary school woodwind sounds, yet this new polished sound has finally won me over. The look is fantastic! I want more! 

The English Riviera -
Out 11th April - Available to Pre Order now
CD (and free download on 11th April)

NORK THIS WAY!

Here is Lady Gaga's new Video for her new(ish) Single BORN THIS WAY. The video was inspired by the awesome cult lo-fi sci-fi series MULTINAUTS produced by JJStratford.  Apparently Lady Gaga is also massive fan and the NORK costumes (custom designed by SLICK IT UP)



and here is Multinauts...



and here's where to purchased some exciting lycra!

MILLION YOUNG

Here's a rather lovely song from Million Young with an equally lovely video...


Millionyoung - "Replicants" from John Ryan Manning on Vimeo.


The song 'replicants' is the first sing from the album 'replicants' and the video is a mash up of videos by still frame pioneer George Pal. Hope you enjoy it!

HOWL

Just been to see the movie HOWL with James Franco. The whole gay poet thing going on reminded me of an old electronica number by My Robot Friend. Here it is for you to enjoy

AKIRA THE DON

I used to drop Akira The Don Feat. Bashy's track 'Clones' at our earlier Cavalcade of Pop parties and it was a bit of a Stomper. To be fair Akira since has gone of my radar a bit. But he's back with Chilly and it's free to download!

http://soundcloud.com/akira-the-don/akira-the-don-chilly-gonazles/s-Qmzaa

Here's the awesome video for clones...

HELLA NERVOUS!

Gravy Train were so mental, I thought it would be difficult for Hunx to stand on his own. He's now onto his second album and it's sounding as delicious as his first. Kitschy 50s rock and roll with a big dollop of Frenchies mustard. His Videos are hilarious too. Here's a teaser for Hunx and his Punx new single enjoy...

FAVORITE VIDEO OF ALL TIME (AT THE MOMENT)

SIC

I have a bit of a fetish for music that sounds homemade, and it's even better when it's free! This week I Tunes have an offering from a london band called Yuck. It sounds like it's recorded in their garage and I was probably as excited as I was when I heard Metronomy's first album.

Anyway heres YUCKs debut album, and if you want a freebie follow this link

Yuck - Yuck by Yuck

FREE STYLE...

If you liked Goldfrapp back in the Black Cherry days, Ladytron in the Seventeen days and Tiga sent you (Far from) home, then you're going to appreciate the ambient electro pop of the Queen of Hearts...

Freestyle (Produced by DREAMTRAK) by Queen Of Hearts

FreeStyle is her first release and it's a great little disco track. Although having seen the video teaser, perhaps she shouldn't freestyle so much on her dress sense. Surely only Bjork can carry off the dead swan look?

FINALLY HERE'S THE VIDEO!

There you go, Britney has finally released the Hold it against me Video.  I'm loving the blue rinse action and the McQueen-esque dress painting. Is it enough to knock Adele of the top of the charts? I'm not quite sure...

Never Stop...Chilly Gonzales - You Can Dance (Walter Sobcek Remix)

Chilly Gonzales - You Can Dance (Walter Sobcek Remix)

SUITABLY BLOATED!

I'm so excited when I heard Frankie and the Heartstrings, it brought me back to the parties back in the day when Kaiser Chiefs - I predict a riot would destroy the venue, or the floor would bounce to Franz Ferdinands Michael.

After all the slushy, weak, indie pop at the moment it's about time some decent indie music is back. I'm in indiepop heaven!

BRIGHTON LIFE DRAWING CLASSES

At Pop Kraft - there is lots of things to make and do including participate in obscene life drawing classes right in the middle of the club night! If that's not totally radical enough here's a selection of our favorite drawings...

PLANNING TO ROCK

DOORWAY from planningtorock on Vimeo.


Above is the new video from Planning to Rock it's called "Doorway" and it's bit more Arty than Party but excellent stuff non the less.

If your in an arty mood at PopKraft, you can always participate in the life drawing class and draw a fully nude model in the middle of the night club!
